German Shepherd Training

The younger one is still a puppy, does he have his permanent teeth yet?
They look like full size choppers.

All good points you mentioned. This is my first GSD, but I've had Rottweilers and a Flat Coated Retriever as well. The Flat Coat was the easiest to train, and was a good well behaved dog that really didn't need much training. The first Rottie was 2 1/2 years old when we got her, and was a great dog as well. I taught her a few things, she responded very well. The last Rottie was very playful, my ex mistook that as naughty. (She wasn't a dog person) She loved it when I'd get down on the floor and play with her. But she left me way too soon after some health issues.

I know the head tilts and paws on me mean something, and usually the list is short, food, water, outside, walk or loving.

I know GSD's are a unique bunch, with more possibilities to make training errors on my part. I got lucky with my previous dogs, and Winston, in that I didn't need as much time invested in training them. Oh well, Romeo is smart and I didn't know how alert he'd be, he sees everything that moves it seems.
